Simparica not only kills fleas and ticks, it's also the only chewable for dogs that registered for effective treatment and control of sarcoptic mange, ear mites and demodex mites.

Flea, tick and mite protection that works fast and lasts for 35 days

While Simparica is a monthly chew, it continues to protect for 35 days, an extra 4-5 days beyond the monthly treatment period. This benefits 4 out of 5 dog owners who admit to giving their flea and tick treatments an average of 5 days late. So dogs are still protected when owners are a few days late.

Ideal solution for dogs that require regular bathing

Well tolerated in dogs from 8 weeks of age and 1.3kg

Simparica is well tolerated in all breeds, including Collies and can be used in combination with other routine veterinary medications.

How it works:

Simparica contains the active ingredient sarolaner, which inhibits the function of the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and glutamate receptor, and works at the neuromuscular junction in insects. This results in uncontrolled neuromuscular activity leading to death in insects or acarines. Simparica is administered once a month directly by mouth or can be crumbled and mixed with food. To minimize the likelihood of flea re-infestation, it is important to treat all dogs and cats within a household with an approved flea control product.

Appropriate combination of tablets

Use appropriate combination of available strengths to achieve the recommended dose of 2–4 mg/kg. Simparica tablets are chewable and palatable and readily consumed by dogs when offered by the owner. If the tablet is not taken up voluntarily by the dog it can also be given with food or directly into the mouth. The tablets should not be divided. Treatment schedule: For optimal control of flea and tick infestations, Simparica should be administered at monthly intervals and continued throughout the flea and/or tick season based on local epidemiological situations. For the treatment of sarcoptic mange (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis) a single dose should be administered at monthly intervals for two consecutive months.
